The quotes attributed to Hunter are presented as a response to how Hunter would feel about having a homosexual teammate.
Hunter is quoted as saying nike air max tn womens uk , "For me, as a Christian ... I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's
not right. It will be difficult and uncomfortable."
He responded on TwitLonger: "I'm very disappointed in Kevin Baxter's article in which my quotes and feelings have been misrepresented. He took two completely
separate quotes and made them into one quote that does not express how I feel as
a Christian or a human being. I have love and respect for all human beings
regardless of race, color or sexual orientation. I am not perfect and try hard
to live the best life I can and treat all people with respect. If you know me
you know that I am not anti anything and to be portrayed as anti-gay in this
article is hurtful and just not true."
?? The caller seemed surprised that I had never heard about Compound Stock Earnings Programs, or CSEs. "People are earning three to six percent per month
with little or no risk", she continued, "I'm thinking of attending a seminar". A
wise man once said: "If it sounds too good to be true nike air max tn white uk , it probably is", but this sure is a creative euphemism for what has to be a rather complicated options strategy. The buyer of
a "call" option obtains the right to purchase a specified quantity of a security
from the seller of the option, at a stated "strike price", and at any time on or
before the contract expiration date. When the option seller owns the security,
it is called a "covered" call. The CSE hucksters don't deny that their magic
cash flow system is based on selling "covered" call options, but the "come on"
includes a laundry list of misinformation, partial truths, and inaccuracies
about the stock market and investing. Covered calls have been around
forever nike air max tn mens uk , but this is the first time I've seen them touted as safe investment vehicles. They are certainly the safest of a complex
array of option strategies, but very few registered, certified, or well known
and experienced investment gurus would ever use the word safe when discussing
options--- or recommend them. All options are speculations, no matter how well
sugar coated and no matter how fail-safe the trading system appears. The risk is
in there. Options are bets about the future price movement of exchange-traded
securities--- it's just that simple. The prospect of unusually high returns
always signals unusually high risk. Caveat emptor, in spades. Here are some
things to consider before you think about attending that free seminar--- not to
mention the basic reality that equities are not at all the proper investment
vehicle for an income-generating portfolio. That's what income securities are
all about. The pitch begins with the accurate statement that most investment
portfolios are chock full of equity mutual funds, and that such funds rarely
produce enough income to pay the bills. Consequently, principal drainage occurs
when mutual fund shares have to be sold during market downturns. But no mention
is made of the fact that really low-risk nike air max tn black uk , monthly-income, and easily traded alternatives (currently ranging upward from above 5% tax free and above 7.5%
taxable) are readily available. The second CSE selling point laments the
declining dividend yield on NYSE traded securities. Again, equities have never
willingly accepted a job description that includes "provide monthly spending
money to shareholders". The purpose of stock ownership is growth in the form of
capital gains. When income becomes the purpose of the investment program, proper
advice would be to sell the stocks and to buy monthly income producing
securities. Actually, there has never been a time when common stock dividend
yields were as high as some of the CSEs report in their propaganda, and
historical growth rates of the Dow and S & P have always been calculated
ex-dividend. Similarly, the glossies talk about the low yield on individual
bonds and treasury securities as though these were the only alternatives an
investor has, which they obviously are not. Based on website review
alone nike air max tn uk , it's doubtful that the CSE marketing companies are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Even if we pretend that an
equity portfolio's growth rate can be enhanced with a covered call strategy,
let's look at the things the investor has to think about after he puts the
option premium into his pocket. What if someone drops the ball (or if something
really good happens over night) and the stock is actually called away? Think of
the tax consequences of a gain on low cost-basis holdings, or the actual capital
loss if you are writing the calls on stocks that have fallen in price, as you
will certainly be doing during corrections. Additional drawbacks of the covered
call program are: (a) limiting the amount of profit on a rising stock; (b)
reducing portfolio liquidity and flexibility because the underlying securities
cannot be sold unless the option has been bought back; (c) there can be up to
four separate commissions paid in one completed transaction; (d) higher premiums
are generally associated with higher price volatility and higher risk levels---
which is as it should be. Another possibility is that the call buyer might
exercise his option early in order to capture the underlying stock's dividend,
or because of take-over rumors. So as safe as the CSE promoters want you to
believe the process is, there is a significant potential for both loss and
inconvenience--- enough so that managed municipal, corporate, and government
CEFs nike air max 95 ultra jacquard uk , REITs, preferred stocks, etc. look better and better and better for investors who need safe (actually safe)
inco.
